This weekend’s event in Haines served as a final tuneup for most Southeast runners with the Region V track meet quickly approaching, but it also saw the Falcons boys’ team once again dominate the competition.

Thunder Mountain took first place on the boys’ side with 137 points, while the girls placed fourth overall with 61 points.

Falcons coach Scott May said the result surprised him given the numbers his boys were facing.

The Thunder Mountain softball team was looking to bounce back in a big way following a difficult loss to Palmer earlier in the day, but it’s a difficult proposition going up against the defending small schools state champion.

Sitka got consistent hitting and great pitching as it handled the Falcons 11-1 in five innings on Saturday evening at Melvin Park. The Wolves pushed across eight runs through the first three innings and never looked back.

The Thunder Mountain softball team has endured some difficult games of late, but Jeslie Villaverde made sure Saturday was a night to remember.

The junior catcher launched a two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth just inside the left-field foul pole to give the Falcons a five-run lead on their way to a 6-3 win over defending small schools state champion Sitka at Melvin Park .

Some Ketchikan players were still showing off the new spray tans they got in advance of Saturday’s prom when Thunder Mountain scored its first goal Friday night.

That sure got the Kings’ attention.

Freshman Brooke Simmons scored a pair of first-half goals, junior Melissa Elliott racked up three assists, and the Ketchikan girls soccer team stormed back from an early deficit to win a wild 7-2 decision at Fawn Mountain field.

The Thunder Mountain and Ketchikan boys’ soccer teams have started what looks to be a bit of a rivalry, but the Kings showed they’re still second in the Southeast Conference pecking order.

Ketchikan broke open a tie game around the 25th minute and continued to be aggressive throughout as the Kings beat the Falcons 4-0 on Friday night at Thunder Mountain High School. TMHS coach Ry Walters said, once again, his team played the opposition tough, but it’s difficult to make up ground after falling behind 2-0.

Juneau-Douglas sent its seniors out in style Saturday with an 11-1, five-inning win over Thunder Mountain to finish off a successful three-game homestand still without a blemish in Southeast Conference play.

The Crimson Bears beat Ketchikan 6-2 on Thursday and pounded Sitka 10-0 on Friday before knocking off the crosstown Falcons to close the business portion of their weekend before attending prom.

It was the last regular season home game for the Juneau-Douglas seniors, and a junior picked up the win on the hill.

Chas Allen homered, drove in three runs and pitched five innings of five-hit, shutout baseball to propel Ketchikan to a 13-0 win over Thunder Mountain on Thursday in a Southeast Conference baseball tilt at Adair-Kennedy Memorial Park.

Allen struck out six — including the side in the third inning — and kept Thunder Mountain’s bats at bay while helping his own cause on the hill with a 2-for-4 performance at the plate, including a two-run homer in the second and an RBI single in the third.
